Jan 28, 2020 at 2:11 comment added Scott @anoffercan'trefuse It may simply be an issue with the PDF constructor from Mathematica and how it builds the clipping masks. I don't think it is inherently anything specific you may be doing or even any setting you could adjust. it's simply how some applications construct vector output and how Adobe apps read that output and then convert it to their own internal app specifications. It's easily removed/fixed with Illustrator. But for long documents, I can see how it would be very problematic.
